Suspects get drink advice in cell
Alcohol support workers have been allowed to interview suspects in police cells in a bid to combat binge drinking and alcohol-related crime.
In a scheme said to be one of the first of its kind, more than 1,000 suspects in Plymouth have taken part.
The scheme aims to find out if a suspect has a drink problem and offer advice about how to get help.
The suspects are assessed in their cells – typically the morning after they have been arrested.
